15-04-2021 Alex Plonsky The WHO-recommended “best buys” for alcohol policy can easily help countries to reduce health harms related to alcohol consumption.

Experience from Lithuania, Scotland and the Russian Federation shows how effective they can be when countries choose to implement them. The WHO European Region has the highest level of alcohol consumption in the world.
